Prestini system is actually cool.
It has a left C# where the B key would be on a Conservatory system.
Low B is actuated by a left thumb lever. You can trill low B-Bb easily.
I find it easy to change between Conservatory and Prestini system oboes.
And having a left C# on any oboe is a blessing.
I am always amazed that high end professional model oboes do not come standard with a left C# key inboard of the left F. I can not imagine that it would cost much more to make a left C# than the (near useless in my opinion) "banana key."
I have a Hiniker oboe with a left C#. I never hit this key when aiming for the left F. The left C# is amazingly handy at times. For instance, a left C# makes playing the 2nd movement of the Bax Quintet so much easier.
